**I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (orange, & green in particular) can come up a little more vivid & I actually have to bring the saturation down in the editing with these colors, so they are close to being true in color.
